Mom was born into a professional middle class family on the 18th July 1925 at 8-45am in the morning, Mom was born at home. Mom was the youngest of 3, her older siblings being Eric and Den. Grandma was 42 when she had Mom. Mom was the baby of the family. Mom was surrounded by alot of family, extended and family friends.Mom's closest friends from childhood are Gene Glenys and Doreen.(Glenys and Doreen have past as I write) My Grandparents started Parfield AFC in the 1920's and the boys and friends used to play in The Paddock at Dr Sangsters home. The club went offical in 1929 time. (www.parkfieldafc.co.uk) This site gives the history and photo's of some of the family as well as what the club is doing today though it has now past out of the family since the late 80's when Eric died who took over the running of the club in the 1940's. Mom enjoyed a emotionally stable and middle class childhood, the family were also members of the Goldisleigh tennis club,owned cars had family holidays etc that comes with the all the trappings of wealth.Mom and her brother's were sent to private school. Mom was at High Claire private school on The Sutton to Birmingham road. Mom moved out to Uttoxeter with family friends in 1939 when war broke out as it was safer until she had finished school, then she went to bussiness school and joined the Wrens in approxamately 1942 for the last few years of the war. Mom served in Scotland and London and was in the middle of The doodlebug raids. Eric was a pilot in The R.A.F and Den front line in the army.Eric and Den also taught Mom to drive. As well as Parkfield Mom generation were also 3rd generation Aston Villa fans and spent time shared betwen Parkfield and Villa Park. Mom worked mainly in law and insurance all her working life, though having a brief period working for the chief of police in Aden where my Father was stationed in the forces in 1958-1960 aproximately time. Mom met my Father when she was 30. I was born in 1961 in Marlborough Wiltshire in Savernake hospital.I was always a Mommy gal. We were also stationed in Cyprus when I was a young child between 1963-1966. Dad died in 1981 and Mom just got on with life. Mom was a fiercely independant woman who had been bought up to be independant unusually for her generation. Mom took early retirement in 1981. Mom helped me bring up my 4 children by my ex husband, my childrens Dad. She was always at the back of me with them and helped financially and emotionally. When I finally left their Dad in 2000 the aftermath was henious for us all, yet as ever Mom by now in her 70's was still their supporting us. When my life started to settle down, I got the house I am still in today and I met David Mom could finally breathe a sigh of relief. When me and David married on 5th May 2007 on what Mom called her perfect day Mom knew her life's work was done, to be with me helping bring me and the children to a place of safety. Mom was our rock. Six months later Mom was diagnozed with the dementia in January 2008. The medication geared Mom up and we packed alot into that year as Mom wanted to visit and go to all sorts of places. Around this time I became a born again Christian and attend The Gateway Christian Church where we live. Part of our church has Oasis for the over 60's and God given I was able to spend quality time with Mom there doing together and it gave Mom also company of her own age and I helped out with Oasis. Our church and Oasis was a big part of mine and Mom's last years together among the many other activities we did together. When Mom had the stroke in the June of 2009 Mom moved in with us. This escalated the dementia and last August 2010 to cut a long story short Mom had to have additonal agency care which resulted in her breaking her hip a stay in hospital and having to go into a nursing home for the last 2 months of her life. God kept Mom in Acomb 5 minutes away from us so we could see her regular. Mom ending was spiriutal very peaceful and dignified. Mom was ready to go. She had had enough even before the accident as she was losing her independance. Mom was ready to return to The Lord and her Mom and Dad and family. See journal for the spiritual journey on this time as it was indeed a beautiful time for Mom and a lovely peaceful ending to Mom life with us on earth. Mom was a tough lady who had come through what we know as sceptascemia meningitus as a 5 year old, cancer at 71 however when it was Mom time she surprised us all again as we didn't expect Mom to go so quickly however as I said Mom was ready to go. Mom is at peace now. R.I.P Mom we will always love and miss you
